When Waipu saw that Pamano was under the influence of the awa he reached for the stone axe and began to bind on the handle with cords. A ike o Waipu ua ona o Pamano i ka awa, lalau aku la ia i ke koi a hoa. (Ke ano o ia, he hikii i ka koi me ka laau i hana au kekee ia me ke kaula i hilo ia e like me ke aho.)

This axe that Waipu was binding together was for the purpose of cutting Pamano and killing him. While Waipu was binding the handle to the axe, Pamano chanted these words: O keia koi a Waipu e hoa nei, he koi ooki no Pamano. Ia Waipu e hoa ana i ke koi, kau mai o Pamano i ke oli:

Bind on, the hands of the waikoloa wind are binding,

The waikoloa wind is the cold wind of Lihue,

Withering the branches in the uplands of Waiopua,

My flower I said I would string into garlands. If you have it,

You would have worn it.

Aala kupukupu ka uka o Kanehoa la!

Hoa! Hoa na lima o ka makani Waikoloa,

He Waikoloa ka makani anu, o Lihue,

Weli no loha ka uka o Waiopua la,

Ia wa ooki o Waipu i ke koi ia Pamano, aohe moku, no ka mea, ua hoohuli ia ka oi o ke koi e ka mana o na kaikuahine unihipili. Oia o Nakinowailua, o Hokiolele. Oli hou a Pamano:

The pilipili is made red by the sun, Made red by love. Give me a kiss ere I go. Ka pilipili ula i ka la, I ula i ke aloha, Homai ka ihu a hele ae au.

O keia oli a Pamano, e nonoi aku ana i ka ihu o Koolau a me Waipu e honi. No ka mea, ua manao na kaikuahine e lawe i ke ola o Pamano, o ino ke kino ke loihi ke ola ana, o weluwelu i ke koi a Waipu.

A make o Pamano, lawe ia aku la e kanu ia i ka puu ainako, a kiai ia e na kanaka i ka po ana iho. O na kaikuahine o Pamano, oia o Nakinowailua, o Hokiolele. Olelo aku kekahi i kekahi e kii i ke kino o Pamano, ae mai kekahi. Ia po kii laua e lawe mai i ke kino o Pamano, a no ke ala mai o na kiai, aole i moe.

Olelo ke Kaula. “I hoomoe au i ka lau ape i ke alanui, a i nahae ole, he akua. Aka, i nahae he kanaka.” Ma keia mau hana a ke Kaula ua ike o Pamano.

Hookuu ia ka uhane ino maluna o ke Kaula, lilo i pupule.

RELATING TO KEAKA AND KOOLAU. NO KEAKA A ME KOOLAU.

Some time after this the two were to have a kilu night; so people from all parts began to come to the royal dancing hall to witness the kilu games of the chiefs.

When the time for the commencement of the game approached Keaka came out and chanted the very meles composed and sung by Pamano. Then followed a recess. Pamano after awhile chanted from within his hiding place, the chants recited by him to Koolau while he and Keaka were in the house. While Pamano was chanting, Keaka began to make a search for the chanter, weeping at the same time, for she was aware that none knew these chants save Pamano and herself. After a time she found him. Pamano then said to her: “I will never be your husband as long as Kaiuli, Waipu and Koolau are alive. After they are dead I will live with you.” When Keaka heard this she ordered some men to start an oven; and after it was heated, the three, Kaiuli, Waipu and Koolau were all killed and put into the oven. After this Pamano took Keaka to be his wife.

Aia hoi, he po kilu no laua, malaila e akoakoa ai na mea a pau, e nana i ke kilu ana a na ’lii. A kokoke mai ka po e kilu ai, hiki aku la o Pamano me na kanaka i kahi kilu. No Pamano, komo aku la o Pamano i loko o kekahi kanaka me ka aahu kapa nui. A ma laila ia i huna ai ia ia iho. I ka wa kilu, oli mai la o Keaka i na oli a Pamano, a pau ia, hoomaha ka aha.

Oli aku o Pamano i loko o ka aahu kapa i na oli a Koolau i ko laua wa e noho ana me Keaka i loko o ka hale. I loko o ka wa e oli ana o Pamano, huli o Keaka me ka uwe ia Pamano. No ka mea, aohe mea i ike ia mele, o laua wale no. Pela no ka imi ana a loaa o Pamano.

I aku o Pamano ia Keaka: “Aole au e launa me oe ke ola o Kaiuli, o Koolau, o Waipu, aia a pau lakou i ka make, alaila, launa kaua.” Ia lohe ana o Keaka, hoouna ia na kanaka e hoa i umu, a-a, alaila kalua ia lakou a pau, o Kaiuli, o Koolau, o Waipu, a make lakou. Hui o Pamano me ka wahine me Keaka.

Tradition of Kamapuaa. Kaao no Kamapuaa.

CHAPTER I. Kamapuaa’s Exploits in Koolau.—Escape from Olopana at Kaliuwaa.—Capture at Waianae.—The Deposed Priest Lonoaohi Aids in Overthrow of Olopana. MOKUNA I. Kamapuaa ma Koolau.—Mahuka mai a Olopana i Kaliuwaa.—Pio i Waianae.—Kokua ke Kahuna Lonoaohi i ke Kipi Ana ia Olopana.

Elua ona ano, he kanaka, he puaa. O Kaliuwaa kona wahi noho i Kaluanui, ma Koolauloa. O Olopana ke ’lii o ia wa, e noho ana ma Oahu nei.

A hiki lakou i mua o Kamapuaa, lalau aku la ia ia hikiikii iho la a paa, kau i luna o ka manele, a auamo aku la, a hiki i Punaluu. Kahea mai o Kamaunuaniho ke kupunawahine, ma ka inoa o Kamapuaa:

Be on the watch, be on the watch

When you give birth, O Hina,

The eyes of the hog,

They glance to the heaven,

And glance to the mountain.

By Hina art thou,

Thou art Lonoiki,

This is your name, make answer.

Holo aku la ia a mua o Olopana, hai aku la i ka make o na kanaka ia Kamapuaa, a koe ia. Kena mai la o Olopana i na kanaka mai Kahana a ka lae o Kaoio, aneane ekolu lau kanaka ka nui, me ka makaukau no ke kaua me Kamapuaa. A hiki lakou, auamo ia Kamapuaa e like me mamua. Kahea hou o Kamaunuaniho, i ka inoa o Kamapuaa:

The eye of the god

That glances to heaven,

Of Haki, One,

Of Ane, the sun,

The season of fruits, the heavenly season,

When the heavens are covered with black clouds,

Thou art the man

That was born in the uplands of Kaliuwaa,

Having eight feet,

Having forty toes.

The white weakling,

Kakalanuhea, Kakalauela,

The red, the blue,

The black, the white face.

The matured shoot, the hard rock,

Thou Kama of hog excrement;

The cloud-shaped hog in the heaven.

The hog bodies of Kama in the bush.

Thou art Haunuu, Haulani,

At this chant the hog gave a grunt up there on the packing sticks, whereupon the ropes became loosened. He then started and ate up all the men, with the exception of Makalii. Makalii then ran until he met Olopana and told him what the hog had done. When Olopana heard this he ordered all the people from Kaluanui to Kahuku to go and bring Kamapuaa to his presence. When the people came to Kamapuaa, they took him and bound him with ropes, put him on the packing sticks and proceeded on their way to Punaluu. Ia wa, hu ua puaa nei i luna o ka manele, a pau iho la kaula i ka hemohemo. Ka ai aku la no ia i na kanaka a pau loa, a koe no o Makalii. Holo hou no o Makalii a loaa o Olopana, hai aku la i ka hana a ka puaa ia lakou. A lohe o Olopana kena ae la ia, o na kanaka a pau loa mai Kaluanui a Kahuku, e kii ia Kamapuaa e amo mai a hiki i mua o Olopana. A hiki na kanaka i mua o Kamapuaa, hikii iho la a paa, kau i luna o ka manele auamo aku la a Punaluu.

When the grandmother of Kamapuaa, Kamaunuaniho, saw this she chanted as follows: Mele hou o Kamaunuaniho ke kupunawahine o Kamapuaa:

Thou art Kanaiahuea,

The eyes that look to heaven,

Watching over the island here,

For the appearance of the rain from heaven,

The place of hearing, way up above.

Thou art Haia, your name, respond.

O Kanaiahuea oe,

O ke ’kua maka oioi,

Nana ka maka i ka lani,

E kilo ana i ka moku nei,

I ka hiki ua lani,

Ka puu e lono i ka haiuiu,

O Hiiaka oe i Puuokapolei,

Ke ’kua oe o Haia,

O Haia oe, kou inoa ia e o mai.

At this Kamapuaa again arose and began eating the men, all with the exception of Makalii, who ran to Olopana and told him all the things that had transpired. Upon hearing this Olopana again ordered all the men from Kahuku to Keahuopuaa, to go for Kamapuaa. When the men came up to Kamapuaa, they did the same as the others had done, tied him up and carried him this time as far as Kapaka, when Kamaunuaniho again chanted forth: Ala hou o Kamapuaa, a ai i na kanaka, a koe no o Makalii. Holo aku la ia a hiki i mua o Olopana, hai aku la i keia mau mea a pau loa. Kena hou o Olopana i na kanaka mai Kahuku a Keahuopuaa. A hiki lakou i mua o Kamapuaa, hana no e like me kela poe mamua. Auamo aku la a hiki i Kapaka, kau hou o Kamaunuaniho i ke mele:

The heaven belongs to Mumu, To Muahaaha, The maggot that crawls. To Niniole, The great seed. The tidings came by day, By the powers of the hog, By its tusks were they chewed, Made soft and fine By Haapekupeku. The hog that roots up the land, Standing on the island of Kauai, On Oahu, making him appear as two. That is your name, make answer. Na Mumu ka lani, Na Muahaaha, Na ilo eu, Na Niniole, Na ka hua nui, O ke lono i ke ao, Na ka mana o ka puaa, Na kui, na nau, Na wali, na oka, Na Haapekupeku. Na ka puaa eku aina, E ku nei i ka moku o Kauai, Oahu alua ia nei la, Kou inoa ia e o mai.

At the close of this chanting by Kamaunuaniho, Kamapuaa again destroyed all the men, with the exception of Makalii, who again ran to Olopana and reported to him all the things which Kamapuaa had done to them. At this, Olopana ordered all the men of the whole island of Oahu, the chiefs under him, the warriors, the common people, no one to remain behind, all were ordered to be armed for the battle, with their long spears, short spears, darts, clubs, shark’s teeth and wooden daggers; all to be dressed in their feather cloaks and feather helmets and go and make war on Kamapuaa. A pau keia mele ana o Kamaunuaniho, ai hou o Kamapuaa e like me mamua i na kanaka a pau loa, a koe no o Makalii. Hele aku la ia a lohe o Olopana i keia mau mea a Kamapuaa. Alaila, kuahaua ae la ia i na kanaka a pau loa o Oahu nei. Na ’lii malalo ona, na koa, na makaainana, aohe kanaka e noho. Hele me ka makaukau, no ke kaua. Ka pololu, ka elau, ka ihe, ka newa, ka nihomano, ka pahoa, ka ahuula, ka mahiole, na mea make a pau loa.

While Olopana was making his preparations, word was carried ahead to Kamapuaa at Kaluanui. Upon hearing this Kamapuaa also made his preparations, and before the arrival of Olopana he was ready. Ia Olopana e hoomakaukau ana i keia mau mea, hiki mua aku la ka lohe ia Kamapuaa ma Kaluanui. Nolaila, makaukau e iho la ia mamua o ko Olopana hiki ana.

RELATING TO KALIUWAA. NO KALIUWAA.

Kaliuwaa is a very high cliff to look at. It is a cliff impossible to climb up, or to come down; there is no way up or down this cliff and it is very high, being about two-thirds of a mile in height from its base to the highest point; but it was against this cliff that Kamapuaa leaned to provide a way of escape for his parents, as also his older brothers, his grandmother and their servants with all their things. He pali kiekie loa o Kaliuwaa ke nana aku, he pali hiki ole ke pii aku i luna, a ke iho mai i lalo, aohe alanui e hiki ai, a he pali loihi no hoi ke nana aku, elua hapakolu o ka mile paha kona kiekie mai ka honua o lalo a hiki i ka welau o luna. A ma ia pali nihinihi o Kamapuaa i moe ai mai lalo ae a luna, i alanui e pakele ai na makua, na kaikuaana, ke kupunawahine, na ohua a me na ukana o lakou.

After everybody had reached the top of the cliff of Kaliuwaa, there was left behind Kamaunuaniho, the grandmother, for she disliked to climb up the back of her grandson, Kamapuaa; therefore he turned his back to the cliff and the grandmother climbed up along the teats of Kamapuaa until she reached the top of Kaliuwaa. In this way Kamaunuaniho got to the top of the cliff and was saved from the wrath of Olopana. A pau loa na mea a pau i ka hiki i luna o ka pali o Kaliuwaa. Koe iho la o Kamaunuaniho, ke kupunawahine i lalo, no ka mea, ua hookae ia i ka pii maluna o ka moopuna o Kamapuaa. Nolaila, huli ae la ke alo o Kamapuaa i luna, a ma ka waiu kona pii ana a hiki i luna o Kaliuwaa. Pela i hiki ai o Kamaunuaniho i luna a pakele i ka make a Olopana.

RELATING TO OLOPANA. NO OLOPANA.

When Olopana and his men arrived at Kaluanui, Kamapuaa was not to be found. Olopana then came searching for him along the cliffs of Koolau until he arrived at Kailua; and from this place to Maunalua, Wailupe, Waikiki, Ewa, and Waianae, where Olopana stayed, for Kamapuaa was living at this place. After getting to the top of the cliff, Kamapuaa had come to Wahiawa and at this place he started farming. A hiki o Olopana me kona poe kanaka ma Kaluanui, aohe o Kamapuaa. Nolaila, huli mai la o Olopana ma na pali Koolau a hiki i Kailua. A malaila ae a Maunalua, a Wailupe, a Waikiki, a Ewa, a Waianae, noho iho la o Olopana i laila, no ka mea, aia i laila o Kamapuaa. Hele mai la o Kamapuaa a Wahiawa noho i laila, mahiai.

O Olopana hoi a me na kanaka ma Waianae kahi i noho ai. Ma keia noho ana a Olopana, aole hiki ia ia ke kii ia Kamapuaa no ke kahuna ole nana e hoakaka mai iaia i ka pono o ke kii ana a me ka lanakila maluna o Kamapuaa. No ka mea, ua paa o Lonoaohi i ke kaula a hiki i kona make ana, oia ka Olopana kahuna i kona wa e noho alii ana no Oahu nei. A no kekahi hewa i loaa ia Lonoaohi i mua o Olopana, nolaila, ua pau kona noho kahuna ana.

RELATING TO MALAE. NO MALAE.

Oia ke kahuna i kii ia ai ma ke kauoha a Olopana i Kauai. I kona hiki ana i Waianae a launa me Olopana, olelo aku ia ia Olopana ma kona ano kahuna: “E kuu haku, e ke ’lii e! O ko hoa paio o Kamapuaa, he ’kua ke ano, aole e make ia oe, aole hoi oe e ola ke hele aku e kaua maoli. Eia ka pono ia oe e hana aku ai i ko hoa paio, a pela oe e lanakila ai. I puaa lau, i awa lau, i moa lau, i ia lau, i kanaka lau, i maia lau. O keia mau mea a pau loa e hana oe peia, alaila, lawe aku a mua ona hahau aku. O kona nawaliwali no ia, alaila, pau ka ikaika.”

Olopana then followed out the instructions of Malae and prepared all the different things ordered by the priest. After the things were ready Olopana and his men proceeded to the place where Kamapuaa was living. When Olopana found Kamapuaa the things were laid at the feet of Kamapuaa as directed by the priest. Upon doing this it was seen that the strength of Kamapuaa left him and he became weak and feeble. The men then took hold of Kamapuaa and dragged him to Pahoa, a place in Waianae, and it is known by this name to this day. When they arrived at this place Olopana became very tired from the excitement and hard work and returned to his house, leaving his men to bring Kamapuaa along. Ma keia olelo a Malae ke kahuna, i hooko iho ai o Olopana. A makaukau keia mau mea, pii aku la ia me na kanaka a loaa o Kamapuaa, hahau aku la o Olopana i na mea a ke kahuna i olelo ai. Mahope o ka hahau ana a Olopana, nawaliwali loa o Kamapuaa a palupalu loa iho la. Ia wa, alako ia o Kamapuaa e na kanaka a hiki i Pahoa (he aina iai ma Waianae a hiki i keia la). Ilaila, maluhiluhi o Olopana a haalele ia Kamapuaa, a hoi aku la i ka hale. Koe iho la o na kanaka e kauo ana ia Kamapuaa.

CHAPTER II. Relating to Lonoaohi the Priest. MOKUNA II. No Lonoaohi ke Kahuna.

Lonoaohi was bound and fastened to a post in the center of a certain house. Before this Olopana had expressed his intention to sacrifice him with Kamapuaa on the altar of the temple. Ua paa o Lonoaohi i ka pou a manu. (He pou no i waena o ka hale.) Ua paa hoi ko Olopana manao e kau pu me Kamapuaa i luna o ka heiau.

Ua ike o Lonoaohi ma kona aoao kahuna, i ko na kanaka manao e hana aku ai ia Kamapuaa, oia keia. I ka hiki ana o na kanaka a me Kamapuaa i Pahoa, hele aku la na kanaka e imi i pahoa, i mea kaha i ka opu o ka puaa, i pau ka naau a me ka loko, alaila mama ke amo ia Kamapuaa. Manao o Lonoaohi, o make o Kamapuaa, a o make no hoi lakou. Nolaila, hoouna i na keiki ana, ia Kapuaaolomea, a me Kapuaahiwa, e hele e olelo aku i na kanaka. Wahi a Lonoaohi i na keiki: “E hele olua a na kanaka, olelo aku olua penei: E! i mai nei ke ’lii aole make kaha ka opu o ka puaa. Pela no a hiki i ka lele, e ino auanei ka heana a ke ’lii. He mau keia la, a po, o ka po auanei a ao, inoino loa ka heana a ke ’lii. Eia hoi kekahi, ua olelo mai nei ke ’lii, aohe make alako i lalo, o poholehole a inoino ka ili i ke alako ia. E auamo i luna o ka manele, a kaumaha, alaila, kuu i lalo, hoomaha, pela mai nei ke ’lii. No ka mea, pela e ola ai ko olua haku. Ina ola ia, ola kakou, ina make ia, make kakou.”

A hiki laua i mua o na kanaka ma Pahoa, e hookala ana na pahoa, e makaukau ana e kaha i ka opu o Kamapuaa. Hai aku la laua i na olelo a Lonoaohi i na kanaka a pau loa, a lohe lakou, haalele i na pahoa. (Nolaila, ka inoa o ia aina a hiki i keia la o Pahoa.) Lawe maikai ia aku la o Kamapuaa a hiki i ka heiau e kau ai.

That night Lonoaohi slept at the post to which he was tied, his sons with him, while the guards kept watch around the house; and Kamapuaa slept in the temple, with his guards. Late that night when the Milky Way could be plainly seen, Lonoaohi was awakened by his god. Lonoaohi then on bended knees invoked his divine help and at the close of his prayer the ropes which held him fell from his body and he rose and walked out of the house, where he found the guards all asleep. When he arrived at the place where Kamapuaa was held bound, he found that his guards had also fallen asleep and no one was watching. Lonoaohi then placed his hand along the nostrils of Kamapuaa and found that he was still breathing; he was not dead. Lonoaohi then said: “Saved. I thought that you were dead, but I see that you are not. These bones will now be cared for.” After a while he again said to Kamapuaa: “Say, I want the wai lands of Oahu.” Kamapuaa answered: “Hu.” The meaning of the request was this: that Lonoaohi was to get the lands containing the word or letters w-a-i, such as, Waianae, Waialua and so on. Lonoaohi was aware, through his great powers, that Olopana was to be killed in the contest that was yet to come, and that Kamapuaa would come in possession of Oahu. This was the reason he made this request. After this meeting between Lonoaohi and Kamapuaa, the priest returned to his place and sat down and for the rest of the night confined himself to praying to his god, for at daylight the next morning he was to be placed on the altar with Kamapuaa. Ia po ana iho, moe iho la o Lonoaohi ma kona wahi me na keiki, me ka paa o waho i ke kiai ia. O Kamapuaa hoi me kona kiai ia. I ke kau o ke aumoe, i ka huli ana o ka ia, puoho o Lonoaohi ma ka hoala o kona akua. Kukuli aku la me ka hoomana i ke ’kua, a pau ka hoomana ana, hemo aku la ke kaula mai kona kino aku, ala ae la ia a hele aku la, ua moe na kiai. A hiki aku la ia ma ko Kamapuaa wahi e paa nei, ua moe no hoi na kiai, aohe ala. Halalo iho la o Lonoaohi ma ka ihu o Kamapuaa, e hanu ana no, aole i make. I iho la o Lonoaohi, “Ola! Ua kuhi au ua make loa oe, aole ka! Akahi a ola keia mau iwi.” Olelo iho o Lonoaohi ia Kamapuaa: “E! ona wai ko’u o Oahu nei.” Hu ae o Kamapuaa: “Hu.” Eia ke ano o ia huaolelo. O na aina i pili ka inoa ika wai, e like me neia. Waianae, Waialua, a pela aku. Ua maopopo ia Lonoaohi ma kona ike e make ana o Olopana, a e lilo ana o Oahu nei no Kamapuaa, oia ke kumu o Lonoaohi i noi ai. A pau ka launa ana o Lonoaohi me Kamapuaa, hoi aku la o Lonoaohi a kona wahi noho iho la. Hookahi ana hana o ka pule i kona akua. No ka mea, a ao ae kau laua i ka lele me Kamapuaa.

A olowalu ka moa o ke kakahiaka nui, hele mai la o Olopana me ka kahuna o Malae, e kai ka aha a maikai, no ke kau ana o ke kanaka i ka lele ke ao ae. Ia laua e hele mai ana e hiki i ka anuu o ka lele, oili aku la o Kamapuaa a kau i luna o ka anuu. Nana iho la, maluna iho ia Olopana ma me ke kahuna. Ia Olopana me ke kahuna e huli alo ana, me ke olohelohe o ke kino, e kai ana, a e pule ana, aole i amama, ia wa hoaa o Kamapuaa i na maka. Ike o Malae a me Olopana ia Kamapuaa e ku ana i luna, puni laua i ka makau a me ke eehia nui, aole hiki ke holo. Alaila, pule o Kamapuaa i luna o ka anuu, e kahea ana i na kino a pau loa ona, a me na akua a pau. Alaila puni o waho i na ’kua me na puaa. Kahea aku o Kamapuaa i ke kahuna ia Lonoaohi:

Say, Lonoaohi, Place the rocks on the side of the umu, Place them here and there. E Lonoaohi e! Kaupale ka imu, Ohi aku ohi mai.

At this call Lonoaohi came out of the house where he was held, and stood up a flag; a sign that those who came under its protection would be saved from death. Shortly after this the slaughter began and everybody was killed by Kamapuaa, excepting Makalii, who ran and got in between the legs of Kamaunuaniho. This was how Olopana was killed by Kamapuaa, and how Oahu came into his possession. Ia wa, oili ae la o Lonoaohi a waho kukulu i ka lepa. O ka poe i komo maloko o ka lepa, pakele i ka make. Mahope o laila, aohe ahailono hookahi i pakele aku ia Kamapuaa, o Makalii. No kona komo ana maloko o na uha o Kamaunuaniho. Pela ka make ana o Olopana ia Kamapuaa, a pela no hoi i lilo ai o Oahu nei ia Kamapuaa.

CHAPTER III. Relating to the Battle Between Kamapuaa and Lonokaeho.—The Second Battle.—Battle Between Kamapuaa and Kuilioloa. MOKUNA III. No ka Hoouka Kaua ana o Kamapuaa me Lonokaeho, o ka Lua keia.—Kaua o Kamapuaa me Kuilioloa.

O Kowea hoi ko Kamapuaa makuahunowai, nana ka Kamapuaa wahine i kona hiki ana i laila. I aku o Kamapuaa ia Kowea: “Ke hele nei au e kaua me Lonokaeho. E nana oe i ke ahi ke a. I pii ka uwahi i luna a moe i kai, ua make o Lonokaeho ia’u. Aka i pii ka uwahi a moe i uka ua make au ia Lonokaeho.” Ia po, moe iho la o Kamapuaa a ao, hele aku la ia a hiki i kahi o Lonokaeho e noho ana. Aole i ala ka hiamoe, kahea iho o Kamapuaa:

Ye Kahiki, sleep on!

Ye Kahiki, sleep on!

Ye Kahiki, sleep on!

Ye Kahiki, awake,

Gird on the loin cloth,

Partake of the food,

Let the hand seize the club,

Give the land,

The whole of Kahiki, yes, the whole.

E moe e Kahiki e!

E moe e Kahiki e!

E moe e Kahiki e!

E ala e Kahiki e,

E ala e Kahiki e,

E hume ka malo,

E ai ka ai,

E hopu ka lima i ka laau

Haua a pa i ke poo waimaka nui

Haawi ka aina,

Lilo ka moku ia Kowea

Puni o Kahiki e! puni.

When Lonokaeho heard the call of Kamapuaa, he made reply: “Is the giving away of my land any of your rights? Where are you from? Why don’t you come and meet me face to face and then let us fight? If I am killed then my land shall be taken away from me.” Kamapuaa consented to this, saying: “Yes.” Kamapuaa then approached nearer to Lonokaeho and when he was up to him, Lonokaeho showed Kamapuaa his method of attack. A lohe o Lonokaeho i keia leo o Kamapuaa, olelo mai la ia: “Ia oe ka haawi o ko’u aina e na kanaka? Nohea oe? Kai no o ka hele mai a kokoke, he alo he alo, hakaka ana a make au, alaila lilo ka aina.” Ae aku o Kamapuaa: “Ae.” Hele aku la o Kamapuaa a kokoke i o Lonokaeho la. Ia wa, hoike mai o Lonokaeho i kana make ia Kamapuaa.

THE FOREHEADS OF LONOKAEHO. NA LAE O LONOKAEHO.

Lonokaeho had eight foreheads which were very sharp and could come down like so many axes. These foreheads were up in the heaven called Kuanuenue and Leleianaha. Lonokaeho had entertained the idea that at sight of his foreheads Kamapuaa would be frightened away, but instead of showing fear Kamapuaa called out to his gods by their names, as follows: Ewalu lae o Lonokaeho, he mau lae oi ke ooki iho, aia i luna i ka lani. O Kuanuenue, o Leleianaha. Oia ka inoa o na lae, e manao ana e makau o Kamapuaa. Mahope iho o ka hoike ana o Lonokaeho i na lae ona ia Kamapuaa, helu aku o Kamapuaa i na inoa o na akua ona. Penei:

Kena aku ana o Kamapuaa i na kino puaa, e ai ia Lonokaeho a me na kanaka a pau loa, pela i make ai o Lonokaeho ia Kamapuaa.

THE THIRD BATTLE, BETWEEN KAMAPUAA AND KUILIOLOA. KAUA AKOLU A KAMAPUAA ME KUILIOLOA.

After the conquest of Kahiki by Kamapuaa, he left his father-in-law, Kowea, in charge of the country, while he went on his way to meet Kuilioloa. Haalele o Kamapuaa i ka aina me kona makuahunowai me Kowea, hele aku la ia a loaa o Kuilioloa.

No Kuilioloa. He ilio ia, he ano kanaka a he ano akua. He kupu a he koa no hoi no kona aina, aohe mea pakele ia ia i ka make.

Before Kamapuaa met Kuilioloa, Kamapuaa had met his two wives, and it was by these women that Kamapuaa was informed of their husband being a dog, and how they feared Kuilioloa. Because of their fear they requested of Kamapuaa to kill their husband and in that way free them from him; and for this service the two were willing to become the wives of Kamapuaa should he succeed in killing Kuilioloa. Mamua ae o ko Kamapuaa launa ana me Kuilioloa, ua hiki o Kamapuaa a launa me na wahine elua a Kuilioloa, a na laua i olelo mai ia Kamapuaa he ilio ka laua kane, a he makau ko laua no Kuilioloa, a nolaila laua i olelo mai ai ia Kamapuaa e pepehi a make, i pakele laua, a e lilo laua i mau wahine na Kamapuaa ke make o Kuilioloa.

After this conversation between them, Kuilioloa came home, and upon seeing Kamapuaa his countenance became changed, his hair stood up, his upper jaw went up and his lower jaw came down and his teeth were exposed. When Kamapuaa saw the features of Kuilioloa, he chanted the following mele: Mahope o keia kamailio ana o lakou, hoi mai la o Kuilioloa, a hiki, he ano okoa ka helehelena ke ike aku, okala ka hulu, wehe ke a luna, me ke a lalo, keke na niho kiei i waho. A ike o Kamapuaa i keia mau helehelena o Kuilioloa, oli aku la ia ma ke mele:

Bristling up, yes, Bristling up. He seems mad, yes, He seems mad. The toes are scratching, The tail is twisting, The eyes are threatening, The teeth are exposed, Ready to bite. I am bitten, I am bitten. That is from you the dog, Death is from me the hog. Kunahihi e— Kunahihi. Ano huhu e, Ano huhu. Helu ka manea, Wili ka huelo, Aa ka maka, Keke hoi ka niho, Aneane nanahu mai, Moku au la, Moku au la. Nau hoi na ka ilio, Na’u hoi na ka puaa make.

Ia wa kahea o Kamapuaa i na kino puaa ona, i ka nahelehele, i ke kukui, ke amaumau, ka uhaloa. Koo ia ka waha o Kuilioloa, aole hiki ke nahu iho. Komo ke kino puaa o ia nei i loko e ai, a make iho la o Kuilioloa.

CHAPTER IV. The Fourth Battle, Between Kamapuaa and Pele. MOKUNA IV. Kaua Eha a Kamapuaa me Pele.

Holo mai la o Kamapuaa i Hawaii nei a pae ma Puna, pii aku la ia a hiki i Kilauea. Malaila, o Pele me kona mau kaikaina, a me na kaikunane. O kahi a Kamapuaa i ku ai i luna o Kilauea, o Akanikolea, he wahi kapu loa ia no Pele. Ma laila oia i ku ai a nana i ka lua, e noho ana na Hiiaka. Oia o Hiiaka, Hiiakaikapuaaneane, Hiiakaikapoliopele o ko Pele mau kaikaina ia. E kui lei ana lakou i lalo o Kilauea. Oli aku la o Kamapuaa penei:

On the heights of Puuonioni The company of women sat, On the heights of Wahinekapu On the peak of Kilauea. Where sat Papalauahi, For Pele throws her flames in Puna. For the lowlands at Malama are covered with sands, Keeping watch over them. Aloha. A ka luna i Puuonioni, Noho ke anaina a ka wahine, I ka luna o Wahinekapu, He oioina Kilauea, He noho ana o Papalauahi, Ke lauahi wale la no o Pele ia Puna. Ua one a kai o Malama, E malama ana e, aloha.

When Kamapuaa was thus chanting Pele heard it all, but she pretended otherwise. She then rolled herself in a cloak made of mats and laid down by the edge of the fire. She knew all the time that it was Kamapuaa that was chanting up there on Akanikolea. Kamapuaa after a pause chanted again: Ma keia oli ana o Kamapuaa, ua lohe no o Pele, a he hookuli okoa iho no. Owili ae la i ka ahu moena a moe iho la ma ke kae o ke kapuahi, me ka ike no, o Kamapuaa keia e ku nei i luna o Akanikolea. Oli aku la o Kamapuaa:

It is from Puna that I have come

Scratching noni,

Pounding noni,

Kapunaiki the long man,

It was a long way for him to travel,

He was lame,

He was stiff.

Arise. My greetings to you.

Mai Puna hoi au i hele mai nei,

Ua ike mai nei hoi au i na wahine kohi noni,

Wauwau noni,

Pakuikui noni,

Kakau noni,

O Kapunaiki kanaka loa,

Ka loa o kanaka, i ka hele ana,

Make i ka oopa,

I ka maloeloe,

E ala, aloha e!

Pele then made answer from the bottom of Halemaumau: “I would get up if you were a man; but being a hog I will not get up.” The reason why Pele made this reply was because Kamapuaa had teased her as the woman who was pounding noni. The real meaning being that Pele had red eyes. This was the real meaning of the chant of Kamapuaa. Olelo mai o Pele i lalo o Halemaumau: “He ala aku ka hoi ke kanaka, o ka puaa ka la, oia ka mea e ala aku ai.” O ke kumu o keia olelo a Pele, o kela olelo henehene kuamuamu a Kamapuaa i na wahine kui noni. O ke ano o ia, no ka makole o Pele, nolaila kela olelo a Kamapuaa.

After this chant Kamapuaa asked of his gods: “Say, didn’t she recognize me, for she said that I was a hog?” The gods replied: “Chant again.” Kamapuaa then chanted: I aku o Kamapuaa i na ’kua: “Ea! ua ike ia mai la paha wau, ke olelo mai la, he puaa ka wau.” Olelo mai na akua: “Oli ia aku.”

The waters went by above Kapapala.

The heavy rains fell at Hilo,

In Hilo and Puna the rains fell.

O Pele, let us make our abode there,

You shall string them, I shall wear them.

Arise. My greetings to you.

Ia Makalii lau awaawa o Puna,

Hala ka wai mauka o Kapapala,

Lani pili o Hilo—e,

I Hilo, i Puna kaua e!

E Pele e! ilaila kaua e noho ai,

Kui ana i ka lehua i Hopoe nei la,

E kui oe, e lei au,

E ala, aloha—e!

The sisters of Pele, Hiiaka and the others, said to her: “Wake up, why keep on lying down, and look at that handsome man standing there on the heights of Akanikolea. Take a look at him, for you can tell on sight whether it is a big man, a small man, a long man, a short man, a good man or a sinful man.” Pele made reply: “That hog that you are mistaking for a man is not a man; that is Kamapuaa the hog grandson of Kamaunuaniho, the son of Kahikiula and Hina.” The sisters again said: “That handsome man standing there on Akanikolea, that you say is a hog? You are an adept in lying. We have seen hogs in the lowlands of Puna, having the body of a hog, feet of a hog, head of a hog, eyes of a hog, ears of a hog, snout of a hog and everything else that belongs to a hog; but nothing like that fellow with a human form standing there.” Pele replied: “That is a hog; that is not a human being which you see standing there on Akanikolea.” Olelo aku na kaikaina Hiiaka o Pele: “E ala mai oe e moe loa nei, e nana aku i keia kanaka maikai e ku mai nei i luna o Akanikolea. O oe hoi o ka mea ike i ka nana ana, o ke kanaka nui, o ke kanaka iki, o ke kanaka loa, o ke kanaka poko, o ke kanaka pono, o ke kanaka hewa.” I mai o Pele: “O kela puaa ka oukou e kuhi nei he kanaka, aole kela he kanaka, he puaa kela o Kamapuaa, ka moopuna puaa a Kamaunuaniho, ke keiki a Kahikiula a me Hina.” I aku na kaikaina: “O kela kanaka maikai e ku mai la i luna o Akanikolea, o kau ia e olelo nei he puaa, he oi oe o ka wahahee. Ua ike no makou i ka puaa makai o Puna, he kino puaa, he wawae puaa, he poo puaa, he maka puaa, he pepeiao puaa, he ihu puaa, o na ano a pau o ka puaa he okoa loa, aole e like me kela kino kanaka e ku mai la.” Olelo aku o Pele: “He puaa kela; aole kela he kanaka maoli e ku mai la i luna o Akanikolea.”

Kamapuaa said to his gods: “Say, I believe I am recognized by those people.” The gods replied, trying to deceive him: “No, they have not recognized you.” Kamapuaa then again chanted: Olelo aku o Kamapuaa i na ’kua ona: “E! ike ia mai la paha wau.” Hoole mai na akua ma ke ano hoopunipuni, “Aole oe i ike ia e lakou.” Oli hou o Kamapuaa:

You do not know that I am Kama.

Perchance it is Kama of the mountains that you know,

On the top of the mountain,

In the forest,

In the kindling wood,

At the trunk of the tree.

Aole oe i ike ia’u o Kama,

O Kama paha i kuahiwi kau i ike,

I ke kualono,

Ka nahelehele,

I ka pulupulu ahi,

I ke kumu nei o ka laau,

Kau Kama paha ia i ike.

Pele then replied: “I know you, for you have just come from Kahiki. You have fought Lonokaeho and have killed him, and Kowea became your father-in-law. You have lived with his daughter; you two have a child. When my fire reached out and pinched your eyes you left and came here. That is the reason you have come; to put my fire out and to fight me.” Pele then chanted: Pane mai o Pele: “Ua ike au ia oe mai Kahiki oe i hele mai nei. Kaua mai nei oe me Lonokaeho a make ia oe. Lilo o Kowea he makuahunowai nou. Moe oe me ke kaikamahine ana a loaa ka olua keiki. Kii aku nei kuu ahi a ko maka ohiki. Nolaila oe i hele mai nei e kinai i kuu ahi, a e kaua me a’u.” Oli mai la o Pele:

Thou art indeed Kama

The man of the high cliffs,

Of the low lying cliffs,

Of the steep cliffs,

Of the cliffs of the rolling stones,

Making it cold in the uplands of Kaliuwaa,

For Hiwa is thine

And thou art Kama

The hog-son of Hina and her husband,

The hog-grandson of Kamaunuaniho.

Of your pen, Lelepa,

Thou art Kamapuaa,

The buttocks that drop without effort,

The nose that is pierced by a cord,

The private that joins the belly,

The tail that wags behind.

Answer, Kama, to your name.

O Kama hoi paha oe,

O kanaka o ka pali ku,

O ka pali moe

O ka pali ku-hoho

O ka pali kaa o ka pohaku,

I hehi ia e ka manu kalokalo,

Anu ai ka uka o Kaliuwaa,

Nou no o Hiwa,

O Kama hoi oe,

O ke keiki puaa a Hina ma,

Moopuna puaa a Kamaunuaniho,

O ko pa la, o Lelepa,

O ko opu la, o opu ohua,

O ka aha o ko ihu, o Haleaha,

O Kamapuaa oe,

O ka lemu helelei wale,

O ka ihu i hou ia i ka aha,

O ka mai pili i ka opu,

O ka huelo kahili mahope,

E o—e—Kama i ko inoa.

When Pele ended her chanting, Kamapuaa began to chant back a reply. It was by these chants back and forth that the two were led on to do battle. A hooki o Pele i kana oli, oli mai o Kamapuaa i kana oli. Ma keia mau oli kike a laua i hoomaka ai laua e kaua me ka ikaika loa.

Who go to the lowlands at Piheka.

What food does she eat?

That which has been left by the ghosts,

The ghosts, the ghosts.

Ghosts, are the chiefs of Kona,

At Paieie, at Mokuhia,

Who goes as far as Panaewa.

It is warm, it is warm,

It is the warmth that wakes one from sleep.

You must wake up, why sleep so long?

For the sun is at Ouli.

The lowlands are black, are black,

With the small fine rain of Hopoe.

Strike her, let the woman fly

To the lowlands of Makuakeke.

Some of the gods are displeased,

Some of the gods are deceiving.

The swine-eating god has its nose corded.

Pele is the goddess that eats swine.

Pele grunts and groans.

Say, Pele, keep on chiding!

Say, Pele, keep on chiding!

THE BATTLE BEGINS. HOOMAKA KE KAUA ANA.

Ma keia oli a Kamapuaa, Ua huhu loa o Pele. Kena aku la ia i na kaikaina a me na kaikunane e hoa ke ahi. Olelo aku o Pele i na kaikunane, e pii i luna kekahi a maluna iho o Kamapuaa, oia o Hiiakaluna, a o kekahi malalo ae, oia o Hiiakalalo. Ia laua i hookokoke mai ai ia Kamapuaa, e like me ka Pele olelo. Ninau ae la o Kamapuaa i na akua ona: “Owai keia mau mea?” “O na kaikunane o Pele, o Hiiakaluna, o Hiiakalalo. Ina e hui laua mamake kakou.” Mahope o keia lohe ana o Kamapuaa i na akua, hoouna aku la ia i kona akua hoalohaloha, o Lonoikiaweawealoha, e hele aku e hoalohaloha i na kaikunane o Pele. A launa ia me na kaikunane o Pele. Hana aku la ia e like me kona maalea, a pau iho la ko laua manao i ka Pele kauoha. Hele aku la laua a noho i kai o Puna, i Malamanui. Ma keia mau hana a na kaikunane, ua ike no o Pele. Nolaila, olelo aku la o Pele ia Lonomakua, e hoa ke ahi. A ike o Kamapuaa i ke ahi a Pele e a mai ana, oli aku la ia penei:

Of the woman, Pele.

It is burning in the uplands of Puna,

By the white snow of Maunakea,

The smoke darkens the heaven,

It meets there in the heaven,

It is a goddess of many forms,

Of changeable forms.

The eyes are of Lono,

Like unto me the body.

Hawaii is coming for me,

The prophet with many tears.

The forehead of stones is falling,

The cry of the birds is heard,

Kilauea is consumed by fire,

The sand takes on heat,

It ignites and flies upward,

By the devastation of the goddess.

Stifling is the smoke from the pit,

The strong offensive smoke of Pele.

My greetings, woman of the pit.

O ke ahi a Lonomakua la,

A ka wahine a Pele,

Ke a ala i uka o Puna,

I ka hau aiai o Maunakea,

I ka uwahi po i ka lani,

A ka wahine leo nui i Pohakea,

Ke halawai la me ka lani,

He akua kino lau,

Kino pahaohao,

O Lono ka maka,

Owau la ke kino,

Ke kii mai nei Hawaii ia’u,

I ke kaula waimaka nui,

Hiolo ka lae o ka pohaku,

Io io ka leo o ka ala,

Kui ke koi aweaweula,

Ka leo waimaka nui o Hilo e!

Pau Kilauea i ke ahi e!

Kunia aku la wela ke one,

Ho’a ke ahi lele i luna,

I ka ai inoino a ke ’kua wahine,

Po Puna i ka ua a ka awaawa,

Pakui i ka uwahi a ka lua,

Hauna i ka uahi a Pele la e,

Aloha ka wahine o ka lua.

Pele made reply: “Yes, that would have been all right, had you come in peace, then I would have treated you peaceably; but since you have come otherwise, it is only by strength that you can get Pele.” Pele then ordered Lonomakua to keep up with the fire; she also ordered the Hiiakas, the Kahoaliis, her uncles and all the gods to keep the fire going. Molten rocks then flew up to heaven; the heaven was as though in flames; the sun looked red and the sky was cloudless. The heat from the fire reached the breast of Kamapuaa and his whole body was encompassed by the fire of Pele; but Kamapuaa was surrounded by his gods, Kuliaikekaua and others, so he was protected and was not consumed by the fire of Pele. The sun was, however, darkened by the smoke of the woman, and Kilauea was entirely lost from view through the great heat; and this heat extended to the other islands of the group. Olelo mai o Pele: “Ae he oiaio ia, ina oe i hele mai nei me ka maikai, alaila he maikai ko onei, nolaila, ma ka ikaika e loaa ai o Pele.” Kena ae la o Pele ia Lonomakua i ke ahi, na Hiiaka, na Kahoalii, na makuakane, na ’kua a pau loa. Lele ka pohaku i ka lani, paihi luna, owela ka la, kau ao ole ka lewa. Hele ka wela a ke alo o Kamapuaa, puni mai la kona kino i ke ahi a Pele. Aka, o Kamapuaa, ua puni oia i kona mau akua ia Kuliaikekaua. Nolaila, aohe he wela o Kamapuaa i ke ahi a Pele. Aka, ua pouli ka la i ka uwahi a ka wahine, ua nalo wale Kilauea i loko o ke ahi enaena, ua holo ka wela me ka hahana i na moku.

Therefore Pele thought that Kamapuaa must be dead, so she caused the fire to be put out, and the fire in Kilauea ceased burning; nothing remained but a few burning spots in the bottom of Halemaumau. Nolaila, manao o Pele ua make o Kamapuaa, hoopau i ka a ana o ke ahi, a pio iho la ke ahi o Kilauea, koe iho la na momoku i lalo o Halemaumau.

I nana mai ko Pele hana, e ku aku ana no o Kamapuaa i luna o Akanikolea, aole i make. Kena hou o Pele e hoa ke ahi. Ia wa, kahea o Kamapuaa i ke kaikuahine ona ia Keliiomakahanaloa, he wahi ao uuku, e pii mai ana ma Kona mai. O ka hele ia a kupono i luna o Kilauea, o ka iliki iho la no ia o ka ua, piha o Kilauea a hanini, pio ke ahi a Pele. A koe i ka aunaki me ka aulima. Iho na kino puaa o Kama, piha o Kilauea. O ko Kamapuaa kino maoli. Hamana ka waha, keke na niho, komo o Halemaumau i loko o ka waha, komo o Pele me na kaikaina, na kaikunane i loko, kokoke e make o Pele ma. O ke ’kua malimali, o Lonoikiaweawealoha, holo lua kona manao, hookomo i ke aloha ia Kamapuaa a me na ’kua ona. Pakele ai o Pele mai make ia Kamapuaa ia kaua ana. Nolaila, haalele o Kamapuaa ia Halemaumau. Kena ae la o Pele ia Lonomakua, ke ahi. Hi’a iho la ke ahi a a no loko o ka aunaki, pulupulu iho la a a, hoa ia iho la a piha hou o Kilauea; pii mai la ke ahi a loaa o Kamapuaa i luna o Akanikolea. Kuu iho la o Kamapuaa i na kino lau ona, oia ka laau, ke olomea, ka hala, uhaloa, ke amaumau, pela laua i kaua ai a loihi ka manawa. Aole i pio, aole i pio. Mahope o keia kaua ana, noho a kane, a wahine iho la laua. Iloko o ia noho ana, ua mahele ia o Hawaii no laua, penei ke ano: Ekolu ia Pele, o Puna, o Kau, o Kona, he mau aina a loa lakou. O Kohala, o Hamakua, o Hilo, no Kamapuaa ia, aohe aa o keia mau aina ekolu. Pela i pau ai ke kaua ana.

CHAPTER V. The Fifth Battle, Between Kamapuaa and Makalii. MOKUNA V. Kaua Alima a Kamapuaa me Makalii.

After the battle between Pele and Kamapuaa had been fought he sailed from Hawaii for Maui; then to Molokai and from there to Oahu. After a short stay in Oahu he continued his journey to Kauai and landed at Kipu. On his way inland he met Limaloa who was proceeding to the home of Kaneiki, a chief and ruler of one of the districts of Kauai, he having in charge several of the ahupuaas of that island. The reason of Limaloa’s visit to the home of Kaneiki was to court his two daughters. In this journey Kamapuaa had changed himself back to his human form, handsome and pleasant to look upon. Therefore Limaloa adopted him in reciprocal friendship. While on their way Limaloa said to Kamapuaa: “With your efforts I shall win the two girls as my wives, for I have given them all my possessions, but still I have not been able to win them.” Mahope o ke kaua ana o Kamapuaa me Pele, holo mai la ia mai Hawaii mai a Maui, a Molokai, a Oahu nei. Mai Oahu aku a pae ma Kipu, i Kauai. Halawai mai la me ia o Limaloa, e hele ana i kahi o Kaneiki, he ’lii, a he aimoku, ia ia kekahi mau ahupuaa o Kauai. O ke kumu o ko Limaloa hele ana i laila, o na kaikuahine o Kaneiki. Ma keia hele ana he kino kanaka ko Kamapuaa, he ui, a he maikai ke nana aku. Nolaila, hoaikane o Limaloa ia ia. Ia laua e hele ana ma ke ala loa, i aku o Limaloa ia Kamapuaa: “O oe ka mea e loaa ai a’u wahine, nokamea, ua pau loa kuu waiwai ia laua, aohe nae he loaa iki.”

Ma keia hele ana, hiki aku la laua i luna o Kemamo he punawai e inu ia, ua paa nae i ka wahine ka waha i ke pani. Ninau aku o Kamapuaa i ka wai e inu, hoole mai ka wahine, aohe wai. Lalau o Kamapuaa i ka wahine, kiola i ka pali, inu iho la laua a hele aku la a hiki i Kilohana. Malalo o laila, he awawa kukui, a he mau wahine e ohi hua kukui ana, oia na wahine a Limaloa.

I aku o Kamapuaa: “E Limaloa! O au wahine paha keia?” “Ae,” pela mai o Limaloa. Kau aku la o Kamapuaa i ke oli, penei:

Kipu is quite a little cliff, that is being traveled, The distance to Makuaiki has not been spanned, And I have not yet trodden its length, Nor have I walked its width. It is a double cliff, high and lofty, To Mauea that is at the top. The voice of man is at the top, The voice of Kaiwikui is at the bottom. Where it is pleading to the cliff of Mahukona, For such is Kona. Kona the small, Kona the large. For such is man when in love, He is overcome with love, he is ill at ease, Ill at ease, as the women by the cliff, Kukuiahinahina together with Kukuiahalua. The red bosom and the white bosom, The daughters of Kaneiki, What are the two doing here? Whiling away time in the uplands, Making love. Our greetings to you two. He wahi pali iki hoi o Kipu e hele ia nei, Aole i anana ia ka loa o Makuaiki, Aole hoi au i hele i ka loa, Aole hoi i hele i ka laula, He pali kui, e hono, e waha, I Mauea la e! aia i luna, Aia i luna ka leo o ke kanaka, Aia i lalo ka leo o Kaiwikui, Ke ualo la i ka pali o Mahukona. E laa o Kona e! O Kona iki, o Kona nui, E laa ke kanaka i ke aloha e! Ua loaa i ke aloha, ke haa mai la, Haa la, haa na wahine i ka pali, O Kukuiahinahina laua o Kukuiahalua, O Aloula laua o Alokea. Na Kaikuahine o Kaneiki e! E aha ana la laua nei e! E walea nei, o ka uka nei la, Hoalohaloha wale, aloha.

The two girls replied: “How can there be any love when we have not lived together?” The two, however, invited Kamapuaa and Limaloa to come and sit with them. Shortly after this the two girls sent a man to tell Kaneiki of their wish to make this man [Kamapuaa] their husband. I mai na wahine: “Aia hoi ke aloha a ua noho pu.” Kahea mai la na wahine ia laua nei. Iho aku la laua a hiki, noho pu iho la me na wahine. Hoouna aku la na wahine i ke kanaka, e hai aku ia Kaneiki i ko laua makemake i keia kanaka i kane na laua.

When Kaneiki heard the wish of his daughters, he said to the man: “You go back and tell the young chiefesses that their brother has made an oath that they shall marry no other husband except Kamapuaa. If, however, this man is Kamapuaa himself then they can marry him.” Continuing, Kaneiki said to the man: “You go back to where they are and bring them all here that they may partake of food.” After the man had gone on his way, Kaneiki prepared food and meat for the strangers. When Kamapuaa and Limaloa arrived, they were invited to sit down and partake of some food. Limaloa ate as any other human being, but Kamapuaa ate like a hog. After these events they lived together for several days. A lohe o Kaneiki, olelo mai la i ke kanaka, e hoi oe a olelo aku i na ’lii wahine: “Ua hoohiki ke kaikunane o olua o Kamapuaa ka olua kane, aka, ina nae o Kamapuaa ia, moe ia.” Kauoha aku la o Kaneiki i ke kanaka: “E hoi oe a hiki, e alakai mai i ka hale nei e ai ai.” A hala ke kanaka, hoomakaukau iho la o Kaneiki i ka ai a me ka ia na Kamapuaa. A hiki o Kamapuaa me Limaloa, kena aku la e ai, ai iho la laua. O Limaloa, he ai a kanaka kana, o Kamapuaa hoi, he ai a puaa kana. Mahope o laila, noho iho la lakou he mau la.

Hele o Kaneiki e kaua me Makalii, hee mai la o Kaneiki ia Makalii. Elua kaua ana me Kaneiki, hee ia Makalii. Nolaila, uwe na wahine a Kamapuaa i ka make ia Makalii. O Kamapuaa hoi, e moe ana no i ka hale, aole hele, aohe hana, o ka moe ka hana.

RELATING TO MAKALII. NO MAKALII.

This Makalii was none other than the Makalii who escaped from Oahu and ran to Kauai, during the battle between Olopana and Kamapuaa, that took place at Waianae, as already spoken of. Upon the arrival of Makalii on Kauai, he became the king of that island and all the people of Kauai served under him. Oia no kela Makalii i holo ai mai Oahu aku nei, iloko o ke kaua a Olopana me Kamapuaa, i olelo ia ma ke kaua ana a Olopana a me Kamapuaa ma Waianae. Eia nae, ua lilo ia i alii no Kauai ia wa, a malalo mai ona na kanaka o Kauai, pela i alii ai o Makalii.

When Kamapuaa awoke from his sleep, the girls said to him: “How strangely you behave! Here you do nothing but sleep while our father and ourselves were almost slain today, and you would not have known of it.” Kamapuaa replied: “Let me go out and fight this Makalii, while you people remain at home. You must not follow me.” Kaneiki answered: “Yes, you can go.” Kamapuaa then asked of Kaneiki: “Have you seen a large stick of wood anywhere, or heard of the whereabouts of one?” Kaneiki replied: “There is a large stick, it is in the uplands of Kahikikolo.” Several men were then sent to cut and bring the log home. As soon as it was brought home, Kamapuaa took it up and went off to do battle with Makalii, while Kaneiki and Limaloa followed behind. When Kamapuaa arrived on the heights of Kahoaea, he met Ahuli, one of Makalii’s warriors. Upon meeting this man, Kamapuaa challenged him to strike. Ahuli then lifted his war club and aimed a blow at Kamapuaa, but Kamapuaa warded off the blow with the point of his log, Kahikikolo, sending the club of Ahuli flying from his hands. When Ahuli saw that he was without his club, he turned and started to run off; but Kamapuaa struck at him with his club and killed him. A ala o Kamapuaa, olelo aku na wahine: “Kupanaha oe, o ka moe no kau, a o ka makuakane o kakou mai make, o maua no hoi mai make, ina la aole oe e ike.” I aku o Kamapuaa: “Owau ke hele e kaua me Makalii, a o oukou hoi e noho, mai hele oukou.” Ae mai o Kaneiki: “Ae, o oe ke hele.” Ninau aku o Kamapuaa ia Kaneiki: “Aohe au laau nui i ike ai, a i ole, i lohe ai?” “He laau no aia ia i uka o Kahikikolo.” Kii aku la na kanaka he lehulehu, a ooki a moku, lawe mai la me ke kauo a hiki i kai. Lalau iho la o Kamapuaa, a hele aku la, hahai aku la o Kaneiki me Limaloa, mahope o Kamapuaa. A hiki o Kamapuaa i luna o Kahoaea halawai laua me Ahuli, he koa no Makalii. Olelo aku o Kamapuaa haua hoi. Hahau o Ahuli i luna o Kamapuaa i ka laau palau. E hue ae ana o Kamapuaa i ka welau o Kahikikolo, lele ka laau a Ahuli i kahi e. Ike o Ahuli aohe ana laau, holo aku, e hahau aku ana o Kamapuaa i ka laau make o Ahuli.

A make o Ahuli, ku ana o Kanakea, he koa no, hele mai la a hahau i kana laau i luna o Kamapuaa, e peku ae ana o Kamapuaa i ke kumu o Kahikikolo, lele ka laau i kahi e. Holo o Kanakea e pee malalo o ke aalii. E uhau aku ana o Kamapuaa i ka laau, make loa o Kanakea.

After his death, Omaumaukioe and Owalawalaheekio came up. Both of these men were skillful in the art of throwing the spear. Kamapuaa challenged them saying: “Throw your spears at me.” The two then threw their spears at Kamapuaa, who dodged, both spears missing their mark. The two then started to run off and before Kamapuaa could get at them they were out of sight. Mahope ona o Omaumaukioe, a me Owalawalaheekio, he mau koa akamai i ka oo ihe. I aku o Kamapuaa: “Pahua hoi ka ihe.” E pahu mai ana laua ala elua i na ihe, e alo ae ana o Kamapuaa, hala, e holo aku ana laua ala, nalowale loa.

After these two, Makalii came. When Kamapuaa saw him coming, he said to Kaneiki and Limaloa: “This fellow Makalii will simply run away.” Kaneiki and Limaloa replied: “Makalii is a brave soldier and will not run away.” Kamapuaa repeated: “He will run away. Just by my chant alone he will run.” Kamapuaa then chanted: Mahope o laua ku ana o Makalii. I aku o Kamapuaa ia Kaneiki laua o Limaloa, he kanaka holo wale keia o Makalii. I aku o Kaneiki me Limaloa: “He koa o Makalii, aole holo ana.” Olelo aku o Kamapuaa: “Holo no, i kuu mele no auanei la holo o Makalii.” Oli aku la o Kamapuaa.

How beautiful is the face of the cliff!

Looking as though hewed into ridges,

The cliff of Kualele

Nani kua ka pali,

Me he mea ala i kalai ia a nihoniho,

Ka pali o Kualele la e!

Lele, lele paha e!

Makalii then chanted back, stating that he was a warrior of Kauai and that he did not know Kamapuaa, saying: Oli mai o Makalii ma ke mele, me kona hai mai ia ia he koa no Kauai, a me kona ike ole ia Kamapuaa:

The possessor of this land.

I have the uplands, I have the lowlands.

I have the lands within, I have the lands below.

As I strut as a warrior,

The small men follow

When I journey, the great soldier

Of Kauai.

What is your name?

Does it compare with mine?

O Makaliikuakawaiea au

He kaha ku wau no keia aina,

No’u ka hele no ke koa,

Hele ka oha mahope,

Ka hele au a ke koa nui,

O Kauai nei la e!

Owai kou inoa?

E like me a’u nei la?

Kamapuaa chanted back his reply to Makalii: Oli aku o Kamapuaa i kana oli ia Makalii:

The turtle jumps to the sea below, And holds onto the face of the rock, In the sea it listens. The native son of Kaena, Perchance he will run. My greetings to you. Lele ae la ka honu a kai, Kipu iho la i ke alo o ka ala e! A ke kai hoolono e! Ke kupa o Kaena la! Holo paha, aloha e.

Makalii replied to Kamapuaa: “How handsomely you do chant my name! If I kill Kaneiki this day, I will save you.” At these words Kamapuaa was made very angry, so he chanted of the several opponents met by him in battle, at the same time giving their names. I aku o Makalii ia Kamapuaa: “Akahi ka lea o kuu inoa ia oe, ina hoi e make o Kaneiki ia’u i keia la, o oe ka’u e hoola ai.” Ma keia olelo a Makalii ua puni o Kamapuaa i ka huhu ia wa. Nolaila oli aku la ia ma ke mele i na hoa kaua ona, me ka hai i na inoa o lakou:

It is the fire of the goddess,

Traveling to Kauanahunahu is quite a distance.

Take of my white lehua, O Makalii.

When Makalii heard this chant by Kamapuaa, he repented within him, because of his coming fate. He was made certain now that this person was none other than Kamapuaa; so he humbly questioned Kamapuaa in a chant, saying: A lohe o Makalii i keia oli a Kamapuaa, mihi iho la ia i kona make. Maopopo iho la ia ia o Kamapuaa keia, nolaila, ninau mai la ia ia Kamapuaa ma ke oli penei:

Are you then, Haunuu, Haulani, the great shark, Kaalokuloku, a question? Is this your name? Make answer. O oe no ka na e Haunuu, E Haulani, ka mano nui, E Kaalokuloku, e ui e? O kou inoa ia? E o mai.

Kamapuaa then replied: “Yes, it is I, Kama.” Ae mai o Kamapuaa: “Ae owau no, o Kama.”

Makalii said to Kamapuaa: “Defeated, there is no way of escape; no place in the uplands, no place in the lowlands, no place toward the east, no place underneath, not even a bunch of grass for me to hide in. I am your captive, Kama.” Kama made answer: “You will not be killed if you are able to chant one of the meles in my honor.” The reason why Kama requested a mele was because he was angry at Makalii on account of the haughty expression used: “How handsomely you chant my name! If I kill Kaneiki this day, I will save you.” I aku o Makalii i mua o Kamapuaa: “Make, aohe wahi e ola ai, aohe uka, aohe kai, aohe nae, aohe lalo, aohe opu weuweu e pee iho ai, ua make ia oe e Kama.” I aku o Kama: “Aole oe e make, ke loaa kekahi mele o’u ia oe.” No ka huhu o Kama ke kumu o keia olelo ana i mele, no kela huaolelo a Makalii, i pane kikoi mai ai, penei: “Lea maoli kuu inoa ia oe, ina i make o Kaneiki ia’u i keia la, o oe ka’u e hoola.”

Makalii replied: “It is when a person is still in his mother’s womb that he should know how to chant a mele.” Kamapuaa said with some heat: “Can’t you think of one?” Pane aku o Makalii: “Iloko paha o ka opu o ka makuahine loaa ke mele.” Olelo aku o Kamapuaa me ka huhu: “Aole no ka e noonoo iho kou opu?”

Because of this persistency, Lonoikiaweawealoha (one of Kamapuaa’s deities) took compassion on Makalii and taught him one of the chants in honor of Kamapuaa. After learning the mele, Makalii chanted it to Kamapuaa, and at the conclusion Makalii asked: “What of me?” Kamapuaa replied: “You shall not be saved because of this one mele; you must chant another one.” Makalii again chanted, giving all the meles of Kamapuaa, at the conclusion of which Makalii was spared by Kamapuaa. By this release of Makalii he requested of Kamapuaa that he be given a piece of land for himself and his people. Kamapuaa then said to him: “You must go to Kahiki and live with Koea.” Makalii replied, saying: “No, I will never live there, for I will have to cross so many seas.” “Go to Hawaii then and live with Pele.” “I will not be able to live with her.” “Go to Oahu and live with Kekeleiaiku and Kamaunuaniho.” “I will never be able to live there.” “Go up to the mountains then and live where the ti, the pala, the mau, and hapuu are plentiful.” Makalii then replied: “Yes.” He then proceeded to the mountains and there he made his home and lived with all his people. Ia wa, aloha iho la o Lonoikiaweawealoha ia Makalii (oia kekahi akua o Kamapuaa), a’o iho ia i na mele inoa o Kamapuaa. Oli aku la o Makalii i ke mele o Kamapuaa, a kuu iho la. Ninau aku la o Makalii: “Pehea au?” Olelo mai o Kamapuaa: “Aole oe e ola i ke mele hookahi, aia elua mele.” Oli aku la o Makalii i na mele a pau loa o Kamapuaa, a pau ia, alaila ola o Makalii ia Kamapuaa, aole i make. Ma keia ola ana o Makalii, nonoi aku la ia ia Kamapuaa i wahi nona e noho ai me kona mau kanaka. Olelo mai o Kamapuaa: “Kahiki oe me Koea e noho ai.” Hoole aku o Makalii: “Aole au e ola i laila, he nui na kai a’u e holo ai.” “I Hawaii hoi ha me Pele, e noho ai.” “Aole au e ola i laila.” “I Oahu hoi ha me Kekeleiaiku a me Kamaunuaniho.” “Aole no wau e ola i laila.” “I uka hoi ha oe o ke kuahiwi e noho ai i kahi nui o ke ki, o ka pala, o ke mau, o ka hapuu.” “Ae,” aku o Makalii. Hoi aku la ia me kona mau kanaka i ke kauhiwi e noho ai.

CHAPTER VI. Relating to Kahikiula and Kahikihonuakele. MOKUNA VI. No Kahikiula a me Kahikihonuakele.

A hala o Makalii mai ke alo aku o Kamapuaa, ku ana o Kahikiula, ka makuakane o Kamapuaa. He koa ia, hu mai ke aloha o Kamapuaa nona. Kena aku la o Kamapuaa ia Kaneiki: “Kau kanaka hoi.” I mai o Kaneiki: “He ikaika kela, he koa.” I aku o Kamapuaa: “Ina hoi ha ke koa, paa kona aina o Oahu, aole e lilo ia hai.”

Ku iho la laua me Kaneiki, hoomoe iho ana o Kaneiki i ka laau i luna o Kahikiula haule o Kahikiula, i lalo. Lele iho o Kaneiki e hoomake loa, pane aku o Kamapuaa: “E! na’u e hoomake, hele aku i mua.” Olelo iho o Kamapuaa ia Kahikiula. “E! make e!” “Ae, make, hookahi no ka laau a ka ui o ka make no ia.” “Me he makuakane la oe no’u, a me he keiki la wau nau.” I mai o Kahikiula: “Aohe a’u keiki e ae, hookahi wale no o Kahikihonuakele.” I aku o Kamapuaa: “Maanei e kolo aku ai a loaa o Makalii ma i ke kuahiwi, i laila e noho ai.”

A hala o Kahikiula, ku ana o Kahikihonuakele, ka mua loa o Kamapuaa ma. Kena aku la o Kamapuaa ia Limaloa: “Kau kanaka hoi.” I mai o Limaloa: “E make auanei au he kanaka ui kela.” I aku o Kamapuaa: “No kuu ike i ka ikaika ole, nolaila au i olelo aku la ia oe.” Ku iho la o Limaloa me Kahikihonuakele a hahau laau, hina iho la o Kahikihonuakele i lalo. Lele iho o Limaloa e hoomake loa, pane aku o Kamapuaa: “E hele aku i mua, na’u e hoomake aku.” A hala o Limaloa i mua, lalau iho la o Kamapuaa ia Kahikihonuakele, a lomilomi iho la, a pohala ae la. Olelo iho o Kamapuaa: “Make ea. Hookahi no ka laau a ka ui waiho i lalo.” I iho o Kamapuaa: “Me he kaikuaana ala oe no’u, a me he kaikaina ala au nou.” I mai o Kahikihonuakele: “Aole o’u kaikaina e ae, ua make ko’u mau kaikaina. O kekahi make ia Pele, o kekahi ua kaawe.” I aku o Kamapuaa ia Kahikihonuakele: “Maanei aku e kolo ai a loaa aku o Makalii ma.” Mahope o laila, hoi mai la o Kaneiki laua o Limaloa. I aku o Kamapuaa: “E, hookahi kaua ikaika i koe, he kaua wahine ia, no laila, e holo kakou i pakele.” O keia wahine a Kamapuaa e olelo nei, o Hina no, o ka makuahine ponoi no o lakou. A holo o Kaneiki laua o Limaloa. O ke kumu o keia hana ana a Kamapuaa pela, no ke aloha i ka makuahine ia Hina.

Because Kamapuaa made use of the stick of wood called Kahikikolo as his war club, he was named “Kaneiki’s-son-in-law-with-the-great-club.” No ka lawe ana o Kamapuaa ia Kahikikolo i laau kaua nana, kapa ia ai kona inoa. “O ke kaikoeke laau nui a Kaneiki.”

Some time after this Kamapuaa left his wives and his father-in-law, Kaneiki, and set out to Kalalau to pay his parents a visit, for at this time Kahikiula and Hina were the recognized rulers of the whole island of Kauai. Fish had been caught at Kalalau; Wailinuu was their head fisherman. When Kamapuaa was nearing his parents’ place of abode, he tarried at a woman’s home. While living there, news of plentiful fish reached him. A haalele o Kamapuaa i na wahine a me kona makuahunowai o Kaneiki, hele aku la ia e ike i na makua ona e noho ana ma Kalalau, nokamea, e noho alii ana o Kahikiula me Hina no Kauai a puni, a e kuu ana ka ia o Kalalau, a e noho lawaia ana o Wailinuu na laua. A kokoke o Kamapuaa e hiki i kahi o na makua noho ihola he hale wahine, ia ia i noho ai ilaila, lohe ia mai la ka i’a.

CHAPTER VII. How the Parents Failed to Recognize Kamapuaa, Which Action Almost Cost Them Their Lives. MOKUNA VII. Ka Hoohewahewa Ana o na Makua, mai Make.

A hiki o Kamapuaa ia Wailinuu, ka lawaia a na makua. Kalele iho la keia i ka moo o ka waa ia, a olelo aku la: “Na’u kekahi ia, aua no make. He make ko keia la, he ilo ko ka la apopo.” I mai o Wailinuu: “Alua ia oe, o ke noi i i’a, a o ka make mai no.” I aku o Kamapuaa: “Na’u kahi i’a.” Olelo mai Wailinuu: “Aole no ka hoi e luu iho no hoi ka ihu i lalo o ke kai.” Kena aku la keia i ka hoahele, o hele i o Hina ala, e olelo aku eia ae ko keiki, i hele mai nei i i’a nana. A lohe o Hina i keia mau olelo a ka elele, hoole mai la: “Aole a’u keiki e ae, ua make ia Pele, ua kaawe. Ua koe hookahi o Kahikihonuakele. Nohea la na keiki, he lohe aku la paha i ka pihe i’a a maua hele mai la e wahahee i loaa ona ia.” Elima hele ana a ka elele mai a Kamapuaa a ia Hina. Elima hoi ana. Alaila, hiki o Kamapuaa i mua o Hina, ike mai la o Hina, huli ke alo i kahi e. Pane aku o Kamapuaa ia Hina: “O ke kua ka ko’u hoa olelo?” Oli aku la o Kamapuaa ia Hina:

How contented was I while living in the uplands of Waiahulu, Where the rumor reached me of the great catch of fish here in the lowlands; I then questioned, To whom does the fish belong, there in the lowlands? To Hina, to Kahikiula. All that fish shall be mine, were I to get there. Say, Hina, let me have some fish? Say, Hina, don’t be hard hearted. Kahikimauolina dwells in happiness, The sands that face the Isles. He faced about to come in search, In search of the parents. The mother was without feeling, The father was mean, The older brother was unkind. They pointed to the sea for fish. In the long feeding grounds, in the short feeding grounds. In the feeding grounds where the fish dwell, In the feeding grounds known to Hina. Say, Hina, I have come for some fish for myself. Say, Hina, don’t be unkind, for I greet you. The top of the ridge was seen to appear on Waiawaawa. It was my hog form. I thought that when I came The parents would remember. Say, Hina, don’t be hard hearted. Nani kuu noho ana i uka o Waiahulu, Hiki ana ka pihe ia o kai nei, O ui au o ninau aku, Nawai la ka i’a o kai nei? Na Hina, na Kahikiula, Na’u wale no ia i’a ke hiki au, E Hina e, na’u kahi i’a, E Hina e, he ole manawa ino, Lealea ka noho a Kahikimauolina, Ke one huli o ka moku, I huli mai e imi mai, Imi mai hoi i na makua, He ua hoa ka makuahine, He konia ka makuakane He manonia ke kaikuaana, Kuhi a ka i’a i ka moana, I ko’a loa, i ke ko’a poko, I ke ko’a i noho ia e i’a, I ke ko’a i mea ia Hina, E Hina e, i hele mai nei au i ia na’u, E Hina e, he ole manawa ino, aloha, Kupu ka ioio i luna o Waiawaawa O kuu kino puaa ia, Kai no au i hele mai nei, E noonoo ana ka makua, E Hina e, he ole manawa ino!

The wives of Kahikihonuakele upon hearing this chant said to Hina: “Say, Hina, perchance this is your son?” Hina made reply: “I have no other son on Kauai. If you two wish to give him some fish you may do so.” When the two girls heard this from Hina, they gave Kamapuaa some of the fish. Kamapuaa then ordered his companions to take and carry away the fish. I mai na wahine a Kahikihonuakele: “E Hina e, malama he keiki no keia nau.” I aku o Hina: “Aohe a’u keiki e ae o Kauai nei. Ina no he manao ko olua e haawi i ka i’a, e haawi no olua.” Ma keia olelo a Hina ia laua, haawi mai la laua la ia Kamapuaa i ka i’a. Kena ae la o Kamapuaa i na hoahele i ka i’a, e amo.

Shortly after this Kamapuaa again chanted to Hina; and in the chant he informed her of his connection from the very first. Mahope o laila, oli o Kamapuaa ia Hina me ka hai pololei i kona pili ana mai ke kumu mai:

It was by way of Kona that I came. I saw the bunch of bananas That was eaten and pecked by the birds; The first hand of the bunch Was directly under the leaf. In the path that leads up, Hina, In the path where one searches for the water of Kekelani; The water of Waialamihi On the heights of Kaula, That water for which I long. Say, Hina, give me some fish. Say, Hina, don’t be unkind, For it was by way of Kona that I came. I have seen the light At the bottom of a valley. Waawaaiki is foolish. The inside is rolling like a raging sea. Where is thy sympathy? I am from Kohala, For the cold wind, the Apaa is of Kohala. The mouth is covered, it is the sign of refusal. Say, Hina, give me some fish. Say, my older brother, My older brother of the cliff that is held to the bosom, The double cliff of Kaliuwaa, The cliff that fed us, the cliff where we roamed, The cliff that is carried at the back, That appears as though carried on the back when one’s back is turned toward it. O, let us weep. Here is my greeting. Say, Hina, give me some of the fish, Say, Hina, don’t be unkind. Thou art from Kalihi. I am from Kalihi. The woman that fished for crabs was from Kalihi. The rope was pulled and broken, The covering floated away with the calabash. The woman went in pursuit of the calabash. The sea of Kalihi that breaks the strings of the calabash. Kalihi is immovable. Say, Hina, give me some fish. Say, Hina, make answer. Give me some of the fish. Ma Kona hoi au i hele mai nei, Ua ike mai nei au i ka ahui maia, I aina a kiko ia e ka manu, Ke kea mua o ka maia, I kupono i ka lau o ka maia. I ke ala pii la e Hina, I ke ala imi i ka wai o Kekelani, I ka wai o Waialamihi, O ka luna i Kaula e, Hoalohaloha wale la, E Hina e, nau kahi i’a, E Hina e, he ole manawa ino, Ma Kona hoi au i hele mai nei, Ua ike mai nei au i ke kukui, Ka ihona i lalo he awaawa, Waawaaiki naaupo, Popoi o loko me he kaikoo la, Auhea ka manawa, No Kohala au, No Kohala ka makani anu he apaa, A paa i ka waha he ole, E Hina e, na’u kahi i’a. E kuu kaikuaana e! Kuu kaikuaana o ka pali hii, Pali kui o Kaliuwaa, Pali hanai, pali hele a maua, Pali waha ma ke kua, E haawe ai ke kua i ka huli, E uwe kaua e, aloha, E Hina e, na’u kahi i’a, E Hina e, he ole manawa ino, No Kalihi oe, no Kalihi au, No Kalihi ka wahine haha pai, Moku a uu ke kaula, Lilo aku ke po’i me ka ipu, Hahai aku ka wahine i ka ipu, O ke kai mokumoku ipu o Kalihi, He paa o Kalihi e, E Hina e, na’u kekahi i’a, E Hina e, o na’u kekahi i’a.
